The metal-acrylic resin implant-supported fixed complete dental prosthesis (IFCDP) is a reliable restorative option. However, clinical complications and laboratory fabrication concerns are associated with these restorations. Maintenance and repair lead to increased chair time, but recently introduced computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) materials and technology can improve efficiency and mitigate complications. In this clinical report, the existing design principles and CAD-CAM materials were combined to fabricate a metal-acrylic resin IFCDP that minimized individual tooth fracture and facilitated efficient resurfacing of worn surfaces.
